Camfil USA Introduces Megalam® ES – Filters for Life

Sciences

Capture Technology for Textile Manufacturing

British climate-tech company Matter has launched its new microfiber capture technology, Regen™, during the New York Climate Week. Regen, developed in collaboration with Paradise Textiles, is a self-cleaning filtration system designed to prevent microfibers from entering waterways by capturing them during the wastewater filtration process. The partnership will see Regen installed in Paradise Textiles’ new textile facility in Egypt next year.

Paradise Textiles, the material science arm of the Alpine Group – a major manufacturer of materials and apparel for brands such as The North Face, Lululemon, American Eagle Outfitters, and Puma – helped in developing the application of the technology for the textile industry. It provided insights into textile manufacturing processes, funded early research, and helped shape Matter’s Microfibre Assessment Program (MAP) to maximize fiber capture. Matter also raised $10 million in their 2023 funding round, and is backed by investors including S2G Ventures, SOUNDwaves, and Regeneration.VC.

The microfiber technology is designed to tackle the estimated 120,000 tonnes of microfiber emissions generated from textile production each year.

Microfibers are a large contributor to microplastic pollution in water, air, soil, and food sources, and recent studies have warned against the alarming health concerns to which microplastics have been linked. www.matter.industries
